Winds and wind systems on the Earth. 1  Wind is formed by the flow of air in horizontal directions. In meteorological definitions the coming direction of the wind is called wind direction. 2  1 m/s = 3.60 km/hr = 2.24 mph = 1.94 knot.
The production of proteins involves two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression. The process of transcription only involves two molecules: DNA and RNA. A DNA strand provides a template for the synthesis of a complementary RNA strand. This process is used to synthesize any type of RNA from a DNA template. Transcription of a gene produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule.
Translation is the second step in the central dogma, which involves converting the nucleotide base code in mRNA into a chain of amino acids. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell, where the amino acids and tRNA molecules are also found. During translation, tRNA molecules first match up with the amino acids that fit their attachment sites. Then, the tRNAs carry their amino acids toward the mRNA strand. They pair onto the mRNA by way of an anticodon on the opposite side of the molecule. Each anticodon on tRNA matches up with a codon on the mRNA. In this way, amino acids are assembled in the correct order dictated by the mRNA code. The ability of tRNA to match codons with appropriate amino acids is codon recognition.
